Only when controlled anything else is an endorphin rush that leads to bad decisions.

You learn to fear fire.

Yes and some say it’s partly driven by survival instinct. My point is don’t let others exploit it.

Traditional indigenous folk – in as much as there are any left – don’t think in terms of race but kinship, and kinship is defined by lore/law, not biology.

Race is a European construct.

When indigenous folk adopt the rhetoric of black Americns they disregard their own culture.

Well said, Roger.

Who is Jack Murphy?

I pinched this answer from Steve Sailer’s blog:

He is a guy with a big beard who presents himself as a masculinity guru to aimless young men or something. He was on some kind of YouTube podcast and a female host kept reading letters asking her to ask him about an article he wrote some years ago about the awesomeness of seeing some other guy have sex with his lady. He seems like he wishes he never wrote that article (for some reason) and he kept telling the female host not to ask him about his “cuck” past. She ignored him and he got pissed and swore at her.

Now that entire world is aflame.

Any more questions?

“That [smoking ceremony] is something that we had agreed with, with a lot of the members who were attending each day as part of a peaceful protest,” ACT Police operations commander Linda Champion told reporters. “It then became a little bit out of hand, and then ACT Police went to respond and that’s when it was greatly exacerbated.”

Why does “peaceful protest” always involves burning buildings these days? Surely we have street wise police officers to protect us from this sort of thing.

But no. Law breaking i.e. setting fires on the steps of a building was “something [the police] had agreed with”. The police agreed with the lawbreakers. And guess what? “It then became a little bit out of hand”. Who are these geniuses running the police these days? Couldn’t be diversity hires by any chance could they?

The funny thing is, Dot, is that capitalism isn’t even an ideology.

The Feral Police couldn’t organise a piss up in a brewery, or a root in a brothel.

They make Inspector Clouseau and the Keystone Cops look like definitive examples of efficient effective policing.

Don’t expect anyone to be held accountable (i.e. crooks, cops and the sanctimonious enablers) for this latest example of flagrant lawlessness in the ACT.

Quite frankly I wish they’d all subject themselves to an out of control smoking ceremony in the forecourt of this inexcusable neo-brutalist monstrosity shortly before my beloved B52 is piloted over it, dropping its mighty payload of justice on behalf of long suffering Ozzie taxpayers across this wide brown land.

Protesters have been occupying the steps of Old Parliament House, which houses the Museum of Australian Democracy, over the past fortnight. They include well-known influencers from the “freedom movement” who oppose vaccine mandates and lockdowns, as well as people claiming to be sovereign citizens who believe federal and state governments are invalid.

Although many appeared to be staying at the Aboriginal Tent Embassy, which has swelled in size in recent days, the embassy condemned the actions of protesters on Thursday.”

And…

“That [smoking ceremony] is something that we had agreed with, with a lot of the members who were attending each day as part of a peaceful protest,” ACT Police operations commander Linda Champion told reporters. “It then became a little bit out of hand, and then ACT Police went to respond and that’s when it was greatly exacerbated.”

Marcia Langton supports West Australian Police Commissioner Chris Dawson proposed grog ban
Exclusive
Paige Taylor
Indigenous Affairs Correspondent, WA Bureau Chief
@paigeataylor

No Comments

Marcia Langton, a leading Indigenous academic who has studied rates of child rape and prostitution in the far northeast of Western Australia, has backed moves by the state’s Police Commissioner to ban the sale of full-strength alcohol in the region.

A confidential report by Professor Langton and colleagues from the University of Melbourne describes “the shocking extent, gravity and normalisation of violence for the Indigenous community” in the region that takes in the towns of Wyndham, Kununurra and surrounding Aboriginal communities.

Child rape and child prostitution were increasing but unreported in Kununurra, according to residents, Aboriginal people and service providers who gave evidence about the harm caused by alcohol in the region.

The report is among documents provided by WA Police Commissioner Chris Dawson to WA director of liquor licensing Lanie Chopping as proof that the Kimberley is in crisis and that severe blanket restrictions are necessary. Ms Chopping is taking responses from licensees until July 2022 before making a decision.

Mr Dawson wants bottle shops across the entire Kimberley banned from selling full-strength alcohol. His stance has pitted him against the McGowan government for more than two years. WA Premier Mark McGowan has repeatedly said he prefers a banned drinkers register, which is being trialled in the Kimberley.

Professor Langton, who has worked with the commonwealth government and 51 other prominent Australians to design a proposal for the Indigenous voice, believes Mr Dawson is justified.

Barbara Amiel has published a memoir.

Somewhere between Chips Cannon and Jeffrey Epstein.

Amiel’s book is too inadvertently self-parodic to be a revenge memoir. Instead, I’d put it in the category of upwardly mobile shagging memoir. From Becky Sharp to Eva Peron, upwardly mobile shaggers have made for fun books (and musicals), and Amiel, who worked her way up the social ladder via the medium of her sharp brain, sharper elbows, and four husbands, fits right in.
Of her affair with the then 68-year-old publisher George Weidenfeld, Amiel writes that embracing him was “like clutching death”, but that he conferred certain “social advantages”. So, she writes, as breezily as she once exaggerated the number of Muslim people living in France in her column, “the only way I could deal with it was to avoid body-to-body contact and pleasure him orally”.

If you haven’t done so watch Serpent on a Netflix.
It’s about the serial killer Charles Sobhraj.
But more astonishing it’s about the lengths that a Dutch junior diplomat, Herman Knippenberg, went to track the bastard down.
It’s about taking responsibility.
Knippenberg took on responsibility for something that was outside his actual duties because of being at the autopsy off two Dutch backpackers burnt alive by Sobhraj.
The hurdles put in his way were daunting.
I’m a jaded and cynical old bastard, so I always wonder how much of anyone’s story is self serving, but nevertheless this is one hell of a story.

Quora is as nearly as bad as the baby rabies feminists of Medium.

TLDR: this woman won’t be having kids parties any time soon.

Would you exclude a child who was unvaccinated from a party if another child attending had a compromised immune system?

I have to say my attitude to this has surprised me as I have aged. I have Rheumatoid Arthritis and some of the medications I have been given make me immunosuppressed. My white blood cell count was very low before I began the meds, around three and has at times dropped to below one.

I have never been someone who has fussed about germs, and sick people never bothered me. I didn’t get sick a lot and even when I was on the meds I stayed fairly well and didn’t worry about other people’s illnesses.

Then I got the flu badly. Like I was DYING!! And it was scary. Then I got a Staphylococcal infection on my face simply from visiting my mother in hospital. Then the flu again. Then my partner got Swine Flu. The Dr was not too concerned with her and she did shake it off quickly. However, even though he put me on a Tamiflu shot straight away I got swine flu. Fortunately the Tamiflu meant it was gone quickly but I felt like I was dying. Later I got it again. Then I gave the dog some type of mange (I’m not joking).

At which point I started to take it a lot more seriously.

I started avoiding sick people. I made people aware of the risks. I told people who were visibly ill to stay away from me because I was immunosuppressed and could get very ill or die from minor illnesses. And I discovered something. People don’t care.

Colleagues get pissed off when you ask them to stay away from you when they are ill. They come to your desk and cough on you even though you explain the risk is life threatening. Family members organise events and when you get there kids or partners are sick and they haven’t warned you because they want you to come and assume you will be OK.

Meanwhile my Rheumatologist was having conversations with me that started, “if you get a cold when your immunity is below one you could die of pneumonia and there may be nothing we could do to help you.” It was scary how serious it was and more scary how noone around me took it seriously.

Then my sister who is a Chaplain did 12 weeks in a hospital training. Suddenly out of the blue she rang me to ask what my white count was. I told her it was between 1 and 1.5. She told me that was risky and I needed to be really careful. I suddenly realised she was spending a week in the isolation ward with people whose immune system had collapsed and she suddenly saw how scary it was. Until then she had not really worried about my immune system too much.

Eventually I learned to tell people, “Don’t come near me. You are sick.”

“I am afraid we can’t stay because I didn’t realise you are sick.”

“I’m not coming into work today. No I am not sick but the lady I sit next to is really ill and won’t stay home because she has no sick leave left. I will have to use mine because if I get the flu she has I will be off work for weeks, if I avoid hospital.”

And people roll their eyes, especially because at 30 you look well and healthy, not old and frail. They complain that you didn’t go, or you left early. They take offence that you won’t hug because they’re sick and they ignore you when you ask them to stay away from your desk at work if they are ill. And you know what?? Fuck them. Because one dose of Swine Flu gave me an understanding that these people’s actions could kill me and the only person who could protect me is me.

If your child is not vaccinated I will protect my life because that is my choice. If my child is immunosuppressed they are not going to die because your child is unvaccinated or because they are sick.

My life, my choice. My child, my choice. You make the choice for your child. If all they suffer is social exclusion then I’m sorry but they are lucky it is only that. They could have to live with the fact their mild dose of measles killed someone like me or another child. Or worse still it could kill them.

If you are OK with risking my life I am OK with offending you. If you think that makes you the victim in this scenario, look at it again, imagine the worst case scenario and remember who is going to end up in a coffin. Hint, it’s not you.

She’s a bullshit artist because she claimed to be 21 years old at a 24 hour McDonalds where she was a security guard (a woman working alone too at night). There just aren’t many of these around and they haven’t been around for that long. Her timeline doesn’t add up, she claims to have had rheumatism “as she aged” then got swine flu as she was immunocompromised.

What’s the point?

People like this lie and spread misinformation to push an agenda. They’re low IQ idiots and not officially part of any agenda they support, but they’re devious and sociopathic liars.

The piece was basically concerned that President Brandon is so closeted by his staff that he appears to be living in a bubble of ignorance.

Ignore the histrionics.

The mainstream media erupted in outrage last week after an Oregon parent used a Christmas Eve Santa-tracking call to troll President Biden with the rude and disrespectful “Let’s Go Brandon” phrase.

Ron Brownstein, a senior editor of The Atlantic, warned about the incident on CNN, saying, “I don’t think it’s fundamentally about incivility. It’s about insurrection.”

Brandon is in serious mental decline and the MSN won’t report it.

@ JC-
The African National Congress was a traditionally Communist organisation, and campaigned on this ideal amongst its Black African popular base. But the party softened up its image a little in order to appear like a unifying party that could actually govern for all, after the apartheid system was dismantled and political reconciliation was sought formSouth Africa in the late 80s. But all their little lefty peccadilloes like unquestioning support for the PLO and automatic hatred of Israel, etc. was just casually ignored. Ditto the massed looting of South Africa’s institutions and procurement contracts, attempts to forcibly redistribute farming land and steadily escalating racial violence over the last 31 years.

The lockdowns since the start of 2020 have been the last straw under ANC government- The rail system has been almost completely stripped of overhead electical cables, copper signal wires and even the actual rails themselves. Rampant rorting and selling ESKOM stones half-mixed in with coal has led to all manner of equipment damage and nationwide rolling blackouts. And there was that big outbreak of mass-looting last year as well.

The western leftist intelligentsia and media have lomg tongue-bathed the ANC’s major players and turned a blind eye towards the cronyism, racketeering, profiteering, corruption and mess 31 years of near-unchallenged rule by Mandela, Thabo Mbeki, Kgalema Motlanthe, Jacob Zuma and now Cyril Ramaphosa has wrought on the nation.

Greetings from Rome.
Trip here was much the same as normal, a bit of fiddling in Melbourne getting my EU declaration completed, no-one cared in Dubai and Italy looked briefly at my paper vax passport and pcr test results and within 30 seconds I was in.
Those fancy masks are mandatory on public transport so I spend the 1€20 and bought one, I’m not tangling with Italian police. The streets and restaurants of mid afternoon were as crowded as I remember them, with people queuing for restaurant tables and lots of American accents to be heard.
There were also queues for covid tests and vaccinations at various tents in the piazzas, mostly young people in them, possibly not locals.
Only absence I noticed where the soldiers that are usually stationed in piazza Santa Maria de Trastevere.

Yet another devastating and accurate analysis, imho, of this country’s PM.

https://www.spectator.com.au/2021/12/whatever-you-do-dont-mention-court-to-morrison/

In addition to the Australian taxpayer subsidising an organisation involved in a highly professional multimillion-dollar sport, what is surprising is that the Prime Minister made no mention of Australia’s greatest tennis player, Margaret Court.

Court has won more grand slams than any other tennis player in history and is regarded by many as our greatest sportsperson ever.

(snip)

It is little wonder that when Turnbull had clearly lost support in 2018, the ‘progressives’ in the Liberal Party quickly shifted their allegiance to Morrison to stop the conservative Dutton. They knew what they were getting. Morrison is one of their own – a pragmatist of the worst kind who believes in nothing except capitulation on every issue be it dealing with the states, climate change, fiscal responsibility, or personal freedoms.

Netherlands Announces Plan To Dole Out 6 Vaccine Doses (30 Dec)

In a Wednesday letter to parliament, Health Minister Hugo de Jonge suggested that the Netherlands should consider additional rounds of booster jabs to fight new variants, with two in 2022 and another shot in 2023, according to Newsweek.

So Dutch people who’ve had two vaccinations and a booster already now are expected to have another three boosters. Oh. So what’s going to happen when that doesn’t work?

JC, if you are over 35 you are usually safe from jury selection. It is infuriating that our legal system allows you to be flicked on the basis of looks, but that is how the scam runs.
But, it can happen. I was shocked when I was selected on my fourth and last panelling.
I was even more shocked when the the prosecuter outlined the case. You don’t realise that you live in a bubble until you attend a supreme court case.
This one involved a young sister of a certain religious persuasion being kidnapped by her brother and SIL because she was suspected of bringing shame upon the family.
The physical and mental torture and humiliation (incl being urinated upon by both) inflicted upon the kid was something that you wouldn’t read in the sleaziest novel.
Suddenly a phone call. Come in for the judge to stand you down and direct you.
It just ended, no explanation. It was a chastening experience.

I have this REALLY close relation who has been bouncing around NSW for the last two weeks.

He tells me that he’s managed to do so whilst only being forced to QR code into five locations. Apparently and allegedly they stood over him and watched him do it in those five places.

Of those miserly five check ins, this bloke just received two separate notifications of Covid contact.

Why do I tell you this? Well, from a statists point of view it indicates that Covid has exploded, and the only reason they don’t know that half the state has it, is the limiting factor of testing.

They have lost control. We know it. They know it. Nobody has the testicular fortitude to call an end to the cinematic facade and declare it a non-notifiable disease. Not knowing it’s present doesn’t mean it isn’t.

I was a foreman on a civil jury in the early 80’s. Turkish woman hit by car and seeking damages. She had been hit, however she wasn’t injured nearly as much as she claimed but deserved something. I tried to ask the judge if the figure we awarded included costs or not. The tipstaff refused to pass on the question, he stated that we were not to ask any questions. I also wanted some guidance on how costs are calculated etc, again refusal. The tipstaff told us to just make and award. We could’ve awarded 100 million if we wanted to.

We decided on $10,000.0 I stood up anounced the amount. No one said anything, both sides just stood up for the judge to leave then they left. I don’t know how criminal trials work but this one was a farce.

The premier is sitting back and allowing Omicron to rip through the community by refusing to close the state border, according to Greens leader Cassy O’Connor.

Ms O’Connor, who has got into the habit of wearing two masks at once, said the sudden surge in Covid cases was proof that Peter Gutwein had opened the borders too soon.

She said the Greens were demanding Mr Gutwein to admit he was wrong and to “pull up the drawbridge” before Omicron spreads even further.

After Biden Failed to ‘Shutdown the Virus,’ the Leftist Elite Have a New Narrative on COVID

We’ve known since summer 2020 Wuhan coronavirus is deadly for the elderly, obese and those with pre-existing health conditions. For the rest of the population and especially for children, the survival rate after infection tops 99 percent according to the Centers for Disease Control.

During the previous administration, these same people pinned every case and death on President Trump while backing brutal lockdowns and economic disruptions. Now that their guy, Biden, can’t get things under control, they’re finally accepting the reality that government can’t control the spread of a highly contagious disease.

In Trastevere healthy young Italians are everywhere, enjoying themselves, just as they always have, just like all the healthy young Australians of my acquaintance.

I was always very explicit about my willingness to comply with vaccination requirements to travel internationally on the basis that sovereign countries have the right to determine who enters their countries and the manner in which they do so, and the extreme foolishness of going out of your way to get a serious illness in a foreign country.
I’ve never cowered in fear because covid and I sort of think coming to Italy, even now, underscores that.
Still a predictable response from one of the resident rumplestiltskins.

The Feds are more hardwired into other organisations like the ACIC and Austrac, and historically have been useful with intel and so on for the bigger drug importations, child sex trafficking across borders and the like.

However, both are political beasts which is the absolute last thing a police force should be. They are regarded by Canberra as an arm of government, and behave accordingly.

They are monumentally afraid of offending people, in part because of the routine arse-kickings handed out by their hierarchy who regularly appear in Estimates hearing and the like to be set upon by Senators who have zero idea of what they’re talking about (think Sarah Sea-Patrol).

Their thought process when considering doing something involves political implications in the first instance, rather than a crook or crooks ending up in the bin. They are known in the industry as ‘plastics’, in part due to the gigantic A4 sized name tags they used to wear. They are very heavily funded, and have an unending supply of expensive toys.

There are good operators in there somewhere, but also quite a few who transfer there from other police forces for effective retirement and the generous super.

In clown world covid karen notafan now flies to Rome flashing her fancy vaccine passport that she said would never exist, then would never get, then would get but never use except for emergencies, for the vaccine she said she’d not take, while young healthy Australian s and Italians are banned from their own society in a way she said mocked as a conspiracy theory when it was first predicted.

I can see that rosie will get an avalanche of criticism in the next few weeks, similar to Lizzie when she decided to push off on a cruise early last year.

The difference – all Lizzie’s critics were giving her stick about the oh so deadly virus and how stupid she was and what a terrible drain she would be on the economy should she have to be repatriated at our expense. All the high falutin’ stuff about personal choice and autonomy flew out the window. As it turned out, she paid her way home and we were the richer for her observations as she navigated her way through the early stages of the fauxdemic.

Now we know the virus’ deadliness was (mostly) hokum to enable a raft of cultural changes including the stealing of a US Presidential election. We know that the vaccines are pretty much useless, even when topped up with yet more of the same. We now see “vaccination” as an attempt to control populations by some governments.

When I disclosed my own vaccination, the great raft of criticism at DashCat came from a single hostile commenter posing as a number of different entities. It was comical in its transparency and malice. Here, the commentary on rosie will be of the Thunbergian “how dare you!” variety. How dare you do something that I don’t like!

There are plenty of people here who have taken the shot for their own reasons, some may seem frivolous, some not so much. Others have stood staunchly by their principles not to do so at great loss to themselves. They are all individual decisions, not made lightly, and I respect them.

Whenever we see commenters handing out their broad brush predictions of the future, it pays to remind ourselves – it’s only the ones that come true that are remembered, not the ones that perish by the wayside.

Brett John Adam Hamilton fronts court over bin blaze which destroyed Serpentine home during total fire ban
Michael TraillThe West Australian
Thu, 30 December 2021 3:43PM

A Serpentine man is facing a potential 15-year prison sentence for allegedly lighting a bin fire which spread across his property, causing $600,000 of damage, during a total fire ban.

Firefighters were able to bring the blaze under control before neighbouring properties caught fire on Wednesday morning, according to police.

It is alleged Brett John Adam Hamilton ignited a 44 gallon drum to use as a pit fire in the backyard of his semi-rural Wattle Road property sometime between 9am and 11.50am.

Mr Hamilton’s home was gutted after the fire “breached” the drum, police said.

A shed as well as two cars and two caravans were also destroyed in the blaze.

“The drum contained various rubbish items and plant materials,” a police spokeswoman said.

“It is alleged the man set alight the contents of the drum and failed to sufficiently extinguish the flames once they breached the drum and began spreading.

“As a result of failing to prevent the fire spreading, the house, two caravans and a shed which contained two cars were destroyed.”

The Shire of Serpentine and Jarrahdale was under a total fire ban order at the time.

Mr Hamilton was been charged with breach of duty and briefly appeared in the Armadale Magistrates Court on Thursday.

Total fire ban, for chuck’s steak.

In a sick twist of irony it was Italy that notafan used as the gold standard of covid doooom when she was blackmailing anyone who was saying “whoa hold on old girl, if we give the government this power it will unleash hell, and maybe this isn’t nearly as bad as they’re making out”.

“Stupid selfish conspiracy theorist, Italians are dying in the streets! Open air morgues! Global Pandemic!” She squealed for a month.

Well, ok, call it jealousy. But there is an argument at play which is not met with dismissive ad homs. For, some weeks ago the story was that on principle some persons would not enter a church where the unvaccinated could not go. Of course, that principle might still apply if we hear that St Peter’s or Maria Maggiore or the restaurant just above the Trastevere basement is a no go. And if we hear tell of the keeping of company with healthy young Italians who are shunned because they do not flash green ticks. And so on. The argument that was is no longer. Whatever it is that has changed has not been named. Naming it might be an ok thing to do.

Good on Rosie for finally being able to leave this shit hole called Australia. I wish I could. I hope she enjoys Rome and has a relaxing time.

My sister and brother-in-law had to cancel their Tassie trip. They were due to fly to Hobart on Monday 27 December. Last Friday morning, on Christmas Eve, they lined up for almost three hours to get the mandatory Covid test at Homebush……..because in order to fly to Tassie you needed to have a test 72 hours prior to arrival. They NEVER received the Covid test results until late Tuesday night/early Wednesday morning 29 December. Fucking joke. As my sister said, they would have been better off booking a holiday to Hawaii.

But you know what….we here in Oz have been confined by our political overlords on a prison planet…like something out of Dr Who or Lost in Space….a whole continent imprisoned. Most Australians have been denied overseas travel until the last month or two….a prohibition that was uniquely Australian, no other western country did this to its citizens. Yet we’ve witnessed the usual parasitic scum fly in and out and we’ve sat back and said and done nothing. It isn’t Rosie who we should be angry at, it’s the scum that infest our political and chattering classes. Just remember how Scumbag Morrison took time out of his G7 summit schedule in Cornwall back in June to trace his Cornish ancestry.

https://www.abc.net.au/news/2021-06-21/scott-morrison-visits-while-in-uk/100229960

Yeah…just look at the smirking Scumbag in the picture in the link….not a lot of social distancing going on there.

And just remember, the likes of Nicole Kidman, Rebel Wilson and other Hollywood scum have been allowed to fly in and out of the country and quarantine in their plush mansions….not in some dingy hotel/motel room. I know what its like to be imprisoned in a hospital room for three full days, I nearly went crazy yet I had it lucky compared to some, there have been people confined to small hotel rooms for two weeks. And just remember how many of our political and chattering scum flew to Glasgow on private jets to hobnob with other hypocrites.

I still can’t fly to WA to see my father. Jupes has been stuck in Hobart because of Maggot McClown.

Anyway, I hope Rosie has a wonderful time.

Depends on which state or territory you are asking about. It’s different depending where you live … because the virus behaves differently (that ”wiley virus” ~ h/t Dan Andrews) and does different things in different place. It just behaves that way because it’s all about da science!

N.S.W.? In any case it makes absolutely no sense to QR code if contact tracing is dropped for other than residential confirmed cases. Not that that would stop them.
